The hawkish officials' stance shifted, and the expectation of an interest rate cut in December rose to 75%. In the long - term, the market priced in more than three interest rate cuts within a year, and the broad - money cycle would drive copper prices upward [13]. - **Domestic Economy**: The domestic national economy was stable, and attention should be paid to the introduction of more growth - stabilizing policies [15]. 3.3 Fundamental - aspect - **Supply Side** - **Copper Ore Import**: In October 2025, China's copper ore concentrate imports were 2,451,487.80 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 5.24% and a year - on - year increase of 6.08%. The supply from major countries increased, but that from other countries decreased. The domestic copper concentrate spot processing fee was hovering at a low level, and the tight supply situation of copper ore was still difficult to ease [17]. - **Copper Production**: In October 2025, China's refined copper production was 1.204 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 8.9%. Due to some smelters' maintenance and the difficulty in purchasing anode copper, the production decreased month - on - month. In November, some smelter maintenance was postponed, and the impact would be more reflected in December. Some enterprises' long - term maintenance affected production in November and December. The China Non - Ferrous Metals Industry Association suggested setting an upper limit on the smelting capacity of key metals [30]. - **Scrap Copper Import**: In October, China's scrap copper imports were 196,600 tons, a month - on - month increase of 6.81% and a year - on - year increase of 7.35%.

The decrease in imports was due to the decline in supply from major countries, the expansion of the LME - COMEX arbitrage spread, and the deterioration of the import parity [37]. - **Demand Side** - **Copper Product Output**: In October, the output of copper strips decreased by 3.62% month - on - month to 189,100 tons, lower than the same period last year. The output of refined copper rods decreased by 10.99% month - on - month to 756,000 tons, affected by high copper prices [39][42]. - **End - use Industries** - **Real Estate**: From January to October, the national real estate development investment decreased by 14.7% year - on - year, new - built commercial housing sales area decreased by 6.8%, and sales volume decreased by 9.6%. The real estate market was in an adjustment period, suppressing copper demand in the real - estate field [45]. - **New Energy**: In October, China's new - energy vehicle production was 1.71 million, a year - on - year increase of 19.3%. From January to October, the cumulative production was 12.672 million, a year - on - year increase of 28.1%. The new - energy power generation showed a differentiated trend. Photovoltaic had a short - term adjustment, with a 38% year - on - year decrease in new - installed capacity in October but a 39% year - on - year increase in cumulative new - installed capacity from January to October.

The US's siphoning effect on global refined copper gradually weakened, but South American refined copper would still be preferentially exported to the US [23]. - **Substitution** - The copper - to - aluminum ratio exceeded the 4.0 mark in October. Historically, when the copper - to - aluminum ratio exceeded the "mean + one - standard - deviation", the aluminum price tended to be stronger than the copper price. The strengthening of the copper - to - aluminum ratio was conducive to the substitution of copper by aluminum, suppressing copper consumption [26].

Core Viewpoint - The domestic non-ferrous metal market showed significant gains on November 28, with lead futures performing strongly, closing up 1.09% at 17,090.00 CNY/ton [1] Market Performance - The Shanghai market reported that Chihong Zn & Ge lead was priced between 17,000-17,060 CNY/ton, with a premium of 0-50 CNY/ton over the SHFE lead 2512 contract [1] Supply and Demand Dynamics - According to Nanhua Futures, the domestic smelting sector is experiencing mixed changes, with unresolved issues regarding primary lead raw materials and a continued decline in treatment charges (TC) [1] - In Hebei, the supply of recycled lead is regionally tight, and the profitability of recycled lead smelting has weakened, leading to a decrease in operational willingness, with current recycled lead finished product inventories at historical lows [1] - Demand remains stable, with SMM reporting that the weekly operating rate of lead-acid battery plants in Guangzhou is steady at 70.56%, and terminal demand in the lead market is showing stability, with battery plants purchasing on dips and a slight improvement in the spot trading atmosphere [1] Future Outlook - Southwest Futures indicates that the supply of lead concentrate is tight, and by-product revenues are supporting primary lead production.

It is recommended to wait and see, and pay attention to the 2603 contract cash - and - carry strategy [5][8]. Precious Metals - Gold, silver, platinum, and palladium are analyzed. The long - term bull market in precious metals is expected to continue due to factors such as central bank purchases and increased allocation of financial - attribute commodities. Short - term price fluctuations may be intensified by factors like Fed officials' divergence and economic data. Specific strategies are provided for each metal, such as holding silver long - positions and a long - platinum short - palladium hedge [9][11][12]. Commodity Futures Base Metals - **Copper**: The price is expected to be volatile and upward - biased in the short - term, with 12 - month interest rate cut expectations and improving downstream demand. The mid - to - long - term supply - demand contradiction supports a rising price bottom [13][16]. - **Alumina**: The market is in a bottom - range oscillation.

The price is expected to remain in the 2700 - 2850 yuan/ton range [17][19]. - **Aluminum**: The price is expected to remain in a high - level oscillation, with a strong - expectation and weak - reality situation. The overseas supply risk and domestic weak demand are in a stand - off [20][21]. - **Aluminum Alloy**: The price is expected to be in a wide - range oscillation. The cost is supportive, and the demand shows resilience, but high prices still suppress overall procurement [22][23]. - **Zinc**: The price is expected to oscillate. The supply pressure eases, and the demand shows structural improvement. The LME inventory starts to accumulate, and the squeeze risk eases slightly [24][27]. - **Tin**: The price is expected to be strong and oscillating. The supply is tight, and the demand in the South China region shows resilience [28][31]. - **Nickel**: The price is expected to oscillate in a range. The low - valuation and production cuts drive a small - scale recovery, but the overall upward drive is limited [32][34]. - **Stainless Steel**: The price is expected to oscillate. The cost support weakens, and the supply pressure remains high, with weak demand in the off - season [35][37]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: The price is expected to have a wide - range oscillation. The market may have increased divergence, with a current situation of strong supply and demand and social inventory reduction [38][41]. - **Polysilicon**: The price is expected to oscillate in a high - level range. The spot price stabilizes, while the silicon wafer and cell prices continue to fall [41][43]. - **Industrial Silicon**: The price is expected to oscillate in a low - level range. The supply decreases, and the demand is not optimistic, with inventory accumulation pressure [44][45]. Black Metals - **Steel**: The price is expected to have a central - downward movement in a range. It is recommended to pay attention to the long - rebar short - iron ore arbitrage [47][49]. - **Iron Ore**: The price is expected to run weakly in the short - term. The supply and demand situation is complex, and it is difficult to have an independent unilateral market without new macro - drivers [50][52]. - **Coking Coal**: The price is expected to be oscillating and bearish. The supply is relatively loose, and the demand for replenishment weakens [53][57]. - **Coke**: The price is expected to be oscillating and bearish. The supply increases, the demand weakens, and the inventory is moderately increasing [58][59]. Agricultural Products - **Meal**: The soybean meal market is in a loose pattern, and the price is expected to oscillate. There is a risk of a decline after short - term chasing [60][62]. - **Pig**: The supply pressure remains, and it is necessary to pay attention to the logic of production capacity reduction [63].
